Maybe it is not the intensity NOAA is referring to, it’s the lack of movement with this storm. Instead on moving on it is meandering just offshore where it continues to pick up moisture which is then dropped as rainfall over the area. 50 inches of rain in four days over a major metro area in the US might be unprecedented.
Lighten up. No one said anything about climate change. Its just a massive storm that will have catastrophic consequences for the people living through it.
Your weird need to categorize it as “just another storm” is just flat out wrong.
50 INCHES of rain?? In one storm?? “Just another storm”? Talk to someone who is in Houston right now. See what they have to say.
Thank you.
Really? Point out the Hurricane that dumped up 30+ inches of rain on a large metropolitan area and then hung around for 4-5 days.
They hype a lot of them. This one, they didn’t. This is going to cause tens of billions of dollars in damage. Or more.
Here in Dallas it’s mainly been overcast, but the temperatures are only expected in the mid-80s, which is unheard of this time of year. We are usually well over 100 at this time of year.
My point? No matter what word you use to modify this storm, it's still a storm. It is NOT the unprecedented event that the professional doomsayers are making it out to be, yet we both know the Left (to attack Trump) will claim it as such. I will not be part of this narrative.
And by the way, the storm has dumped 20+ inches of rain, not 50. Yes, that's a lot of water, but again, it's hardly unprecedented for a tropical storm at this time of year.

48 inches.

Exactly. Ocean waves were breaking two miles inland during Sandy. Supermarkets were cleared out. People were in dire straits. These crazy storms are unpredictable. It ticks me off when rats play politics while people are suffering.
Bite me, Mr. Literal.
CALLER: What I can tell, it’s not. So it’s just certain neighborhoods — that were just a little bit low that got hit hard.

In my last comment, those were only rainfall totals from some NOAA-approved stations. The NOAA does not use all of its certified stations in its data sets and reports (politics, tourism, etc., examples: Antero Reservoir in CO, -51F one night in December, 2015, data sets from Hurricane Celia in Corpus Christi in 1970, anemometers broken, revisions after Hurricane Andrew, insurance-builder interest dilemma, shoddy buildings not to code on roof structurals and wind straps). Also, some non-certified stations are good but omitted from data sets and reports.
I wish I could.
You are a colossal idiot. A flaming, unmitigated idiot.
You a Log Cabin Republican or just a drama queen?
Well, you can feel real good since nature has given you your wishes for my town several times over.
